With the Euro low at the moment I can't make up my mind whether to get my Euros now or wait until September when we go to France, Is there a website I can go on to compare last year's rates to this year's.

I usually go to the Post office to get the Euros but not to sell them back as they are expensive - free to buy though
The exchange rate is not normally that bad, as far as I know :dunno;

Use Moneysavingexpert.com !
Some of the companies will actually give you the better of the rate at time of booking or at time of collection - I actually made the last time I bought euros AND I didn't pay until I collected

The Post Office is usually good but Tesco and Sainsbury usually match it. Current rate is about 83p to the Euro which is considerably better than it was. We are off to France in a couple of weeks so will wait until we go. The Euro might go lower.
Now makes Europe a very good holiday location.

If Greece pulls out of the Euro and the Euro then goes down the pan (there is that possibility), then I would not even worry about an exchange rate. Rumour has it that Greece, France and Germany have been printing their own currencies again just in case.
Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but it gets boring so I go back to being me.
